Q1. A brewery uses molasses as a raw material for ethanol production. Which enzyme specifically converts sucrose into glucose and fructose during fermentation?
Answer: Invertase
Explanation: Invertase hydrolyzes molasses (sucrose) into glucose and fructose. Zymase is tempting but it only converts glucose directly into ethanol and CO2.
